This is Encouraging.

Governor Biggs has assured E0ery EUe-
ming that he still stands where he placed
himself in his inaugural. 81 am certainly

SAYS. 81 think my former acts and declara-
tions, and my expression upon this sub
ject in my inaugural address certainly show
am in favor Of a conventions"
These are extremely encouraging remarks
to hear from the governor, and also crafty
ing to the reform element around u.s.
When the governor said last week that he
could see no reason why there should be
such dread of an elective judiciary he
touched upon vital, and with some indi-
viduals a sore issue.
But Governor Biggs is right and those
who who oppose an elective Judiciary may
be count, by a limited dozen or SO of office
holders who prefer the appontive method as
against the 1856 900 of Deaware's population
who are probably in favor of having say

The Republican county executive commit

of reform. This was expected as matter
of course. But it is none the less gratifying

The Collision of the Celtic and Britannia,

The steamer Celtic, of the White Star line,
which was in collision with the Britannia,
reached the dock in New York on Monday
the Oath inst. The officers OF both steam
ers will say but little. Capt. Perry, OF the
Britannia, declares:
The Celtic was to blame in that she did
not back at full speed, for that would
have helped the Britannia to clear, or at
least to lessen the blow, but there seems
to have been no alteration made in the
s"ed OF the vessel.
apt. Irving, of the Celtic, says:
Shortly after noon on the 10TH when
about 800 miles east OF Sandy Hook, we
ran into fog. I reduced steam about one
half and began blowing whistles at regular
intervals. Extra lookouts were station.

another steamer off our starboard bow. 1t
seemed at such a distance that I did not
think there was any danger OF our meeting.

sounded again-this time much nearer. I
rang the bell to stop the engines but just

In the last four months there have
been no less than three hundred and
fifty new banks formed in the United
States. 1t almost seems that the
profitable limit in this business must
be reached before long. Yet there are
lew or no signs that it is near at hand,
nor is it likely to be reached so long
as money finds ready business at rea.
sonable good rates. About fifty OF
these new banks have been organized
under the national system. This is
,reassuring in view of the fear which
has been entertained that the nation

in the large cities. it is apparently an

be kept up the calling in of bonds may
considerably trouble the national

The Driven Well Patent Sustained.

The United States supreme court an
nounced decisions in about twenty cases
and then adjourned. Among the cases OF
general interest WAS the following:
Harris Eames against w. D. Andrews
and others; appeal from the United States
district court for the District of Connecti-
cut.
The controversy relates to the validity
Of the "driven we'll patent
The Importance of this litigation and
the extent to which tho people of the
country are interested in it are shown by
the fact that the number of driven wells in
the United States is between 500, 600 and
100000. The court holds:
First-That the grounds upon which it
is sought to invalidate the reissued patent
for the driven wells. as being for a different
invention from that desc ribed in the origi.
nal patent, cannot be sustained.
Second-That the invention had not
been anticipated by others.
Third-That there is q clear cause OF in
fringment. The validity of rcissued pat

This is also driven we'll patent case.
Upon the grounds set forth in tho opinion
OF the preceding case, the validity of the
patent is sustained and the appellant held
liable for infringement. The effect OF these
decisions is to make all users OF driven
wells not authorized under the patent, Ii.
